“I’ve not played against them too much recently because we have been in different leagues.

“They’re very passionate people down there and there are normally a lot of fans. I can’t see it being any different on Sunday. There will be a lot of fans there, they are quite close to the pitch, they get right behind the team, and it will get a little bit hostile.

“It will be nice to go out and try and shut the fans up, which is what you want to do when it comes to away games. As soon as you get them quiet, then you know you are getting the upper hand.”

Barrow will have on loan Goalkeeper Tim Erlandsson making only his second appearance for the club due to only arriving last week from Nottingham Forest.

Stats
